Use stripslashes().
Try this example:
<?php
$var = $_REQUEST['blah'];
echo '<xmp>$REQUEST[\'blah\']: "', $var, "\"\n";
$var = stripslashes($var);
echo 'stripslashe\'d: "', $var, '"</xmp>';
echo '<form method="post">',
'<textarea name="blah">',
$var,
'</textarea><br />',
'<input type="submit"></form>';
?>
You will notice the textarea transmits "Thank\'s" which is displayed in the
first line, and stripslashes() removes the backslash and displays "Thank's".
Note that you also must use the stripslashe'd data when constructing the
textarea.
